Emma McKay Everday Paperdoll Book

Just a quick update this week! The teens just finished school so we're having a low-key transition to summer. My youngest had his braces removed (YAY!!!) so he's eating all the candy he can find. My oldest started a summer job and that's been great. And I'm transitioning to Summer Mom, sleeping in and planning fun times :)

 If you're looking for something fun to do this summer, either for yourself or kiddos, check out Emma McKay! If this looks familiar, it's because this was my 2025 calendar but now it's in book form! 

I loved this project so much that I really wanted to see it in book form, too. Paperdoll Review books are just always terrific! The calendar is great, of course, but having it in a book is just so much more convenient! Grab a copy today and if you cut it our, I'd love to see it!
 

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

 If your December has been anything like my December, it's been super busy! Two birthdays, a quick trip to Boston with Jenny Taliadoros to see Ralph Hodgden, a winter concert at the school, multiple visits to the one of the boys' schools (for good things!), several doctor's appointments, and family festivities...It's been a lot! I love being busy with the kids and I know those days are numbered, but I'm looking forward to some downtime, for sure. 

This year's holiday card comes from my ongoing Emma McKay project. I started thinking about what Betsy McCall or Dolly Dingle or other "every girl" kinds of paper dolls might be like today. I took that idea and turned it into a calendar. You can grab the calendar here.

Happy Holidays to you & yours, whatever you celebrate. And here's hoping the blog will be a bit more active next year!
